79 Turbo Riviera

[wagonboss]

There is a 79 Turbo Riv in a local wrecking yard that is likely going to be crushed. I think it could be purchased for $100. The interior is hailed out and picked over, the exterior has no rust, but the passenger door is off sitting by the car. Has some dents. As far as I can tell, the engine compartment is complete, but when I tried to turn the engine over by hand, I couldn't get it to budge. Don't know anything more about it. I think it won't be crushed for another couple of weeks. I've got too many old cars stored around my house, so I don't think that is an option. You'd have to get it in the next several weeks; I could probably convince the yard owner to store it for a couple of weeks if anyone is interested. I think this is the first year for turbo Riv.

Probably will end up melted and placed into Hondas, Toyotas and maybe if its lucky, another Buick. Or, someone might read your post and go get it. Too far for me though.
